Praise for The Witch's Boy, by Michael Gruber
"A brilliantly woven plot intertwines with twists on well-known fairy tales." Dina Rabinovitch, The Guardian
"Intelligent, understated and wryly amusing...continually delights with its literary skill and sensitivity." Nicholas Tucker, TES
"It blends in various fairytales, turning them on their head, with a sophisticated wit that gives it potential crossover appeal." The Bookseller
"a heart-warming tale of approval and tolerance, or lack of it, in society. Set in a world of magic and enchantment... The Witch's Boy will become a legend of tomorrow." The Bookseller, Panel's Selection
"full of surprises and very unusual." Newcastle Evening Chronicle
Praise for VALLEY OF BONES, by Michael Gruber:
'Gruber's new mystery/thriller more than fulfils the promise of his dazzling Tropic of the Night, a critical and commercial success and his first book published under his own name... Evocative prose, an erudite author, spellbinding subject matter and totally original characters add up to make this one a knockout.'
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Full of surprises and very unusual." Newcastle Evening Chronicle
"told in an artistic and stately style, with an objective yet compassionate tone that creates a weight of sympathetic regret within the reader. " Bulletin of the Centre for Children's Books

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Lump, the ugliest boy in the world, is abandoned in the forest, where he is found and taken in by a witch. With a bear for a nanny, a genie as a servant and only a cat to talk to, the household is a strange one, but Lump grows up knowing nothing but love. Until one day he has to go out and face the world - and meets rejection at every turn. This is the story of Lump's difficult journery to adulthood, his craving for the magical powers of his mother and his search for love and acceptance, set against the backdrop of a world full of natural magic in delicate balance, where the slightest disturbance can be catastrophic.
